A Following Discussion on"Hou Ⅵ"and"Wei Ⅸ"of The Book of Songs in Anhui University Bamboo Slips——On the Edition of The Book of Songs in Anhui University Bamboo Slips
According to the research of this paper,the author considers that"Hou Ⅵ"and"Wei Ⅸ"of The Book of Songs in Anhui U-niversity Bamboo Slips are actually the"Wei Feng"and"Tang Feng"(Songs of Jin State).The reason of the differences in naming is probably that:when the original edition of The Book of Songs in Anhui University Bamboo Slips collecting the songs,it collected from the actual political center of Wei State(Huo,equals Hou)and the detail palce in Jin State(Wei County of Jin State).Because of the antiqui-ty of the names of"Hou Ⅵ"and"Wei Ⅸ",we can make a further conclusion that the original edition of The Book of Songs in Anhui University Bamboo Slips was the first edition compiled by official school of Zhou Dynasty,earlier than Confucian School's edition which was always used for Poetry Education.In order to protect the Ritual and Music and Sacrificial Culture of Chu State,the academic officer of official school in Chu State excerpted some songs from the original edition,then formed The Book of Songs in Anhui University Bamboo Slips which had no Ya and Song and the other eight Guo Fengs.In addition,many variant characters frequently appeared in same songs,which proved that the selected edition maybe the elementary textbook of the official school in Chu State,and teaching the students ofof-ficial school in Chu State to learn to read was its another function.
